And you're thinking, wait, hang on a minute, Jaz. We're in May. Why are you telling us about April? Well, I had a stressful month myself, actually, my youngest son was on and off sick and like nothing too serious, thankfully. Like it was antibiotics. Jaz's Introduction:It was tonsillitis. It was a couple of bugs. It was a night in A&E. And it really made me grateful in a way, in the sense that look, yes, my son was sick and I hated it and I felt really bad for him. And it can take your toll when your children are not sleeping very well. But it really made me feel bad for parents who had children with chronic illnesses, think, I don't know, leukemia, or parents with children who have severe learning disabilities, and having to care for those children, it really takes its toll on a parent. Or someone maybe with a child's got cleft lip and palate, feeding issues. Or of course Nafisa, the little girl in Tanzania that we're supporting, which Protrusive are supporting as a charity to help her raise money to fight her SMA type 1 so she can get genetic therapy. If you've been reading my emails, I put a donation link there and we're pretty much there to raising enough money to help this little girl. But anyway, going back on topic, it's been a stressful month, which is why this episode has spilled over into May. A few years ago, I probably would have been stressing about this, like, oh my god, it was supposed to be out in April and that would have eaten me alive. But my mindset has shifted a bit. It's a silly little story, actually, in terms of this mindset shift. Okay, the story goes that my son was on a playdate. It was like an early afternoon thing. And children nowadays, they have better social lives than their parents. So after this playdate, he had a birthday party to go to. So we were driving my son to the birthday party and we were really late. Like we spent too much time on the playdate and we were really late for the birthday party he had to go to. I hate, I absolutely hate running late. So, I was in a stressed state. If you ask me then, Jaz, how do you feel? I'm like, oh my god, I'm so stressed, we're late, Ishaan's gonna miss everything, the cake cutting, everything, he's gonna miss it, this is so stressful, and of course, two kids in the car, and that can get sometimes quite stressful. So, I reached the birthday party, and yes, he just about made it for the cake cutting,

In today's episode, we dive into the delicate relationship between anxiety and success. Often viewed as a disorder, anxiety can actually serve as a powerful catalyst for achievement when properly managed. However, left unchecked, it can morph into a debilitating force. Episode Highlights:The Gift of Anxiety: Contrary to popular belief, anxiety isn't always debilitating. When channeled effectively, it can fuel motivation, sharpen focus, and enhance performance. Individuals experiencing anxiety may find themselves becoming more detail-oriented, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence.Achieving Goals: Anxiety can act as a driving force behind goal attainment. The fear of failure inherent in anxiety often compels individuals to push themselves beyond their limits, striving to reach new heights of success.Discipline and Determination: Those who struggle with anxiety on a daily basis develop a remarkable degree of discipline. Fueled by the desire to alleviate their fears, they cultivate habits of resilience and perseverance, essential traits on the path to achievement.Using Anxiety as Fuel: Rather than allowing anxiety to paralyze them, some individuals leverage it as a source of energy. By reframing their perception of anxiety, they transform it from a liability into an asset, propelling themselves forward with newfound vigor.The Unchecked Beast: However, when anxiety spirals out of control, it can become a relentless adversary, akin to a wild stallion that refuses to be tamed. Unmanaged anxiety can lead to a myriad of adverse outcomes, including impaired decision-making, decreased productivity, and diminished well-being.Navigating the Terrain: Managing anxiety requires a multifaceted approach. From mindfulness techniques to cognitive-behavioral strategies, individuals can learn to harness the power of anxiety while minimizing its negative effects. Follow Dr. Sekandari on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_nafisa_sekandariFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.sekandariWatch Video Recording on YoutubeTo learn more about the FREE live weekly training "3 Steps To Calming Your Brain and Becoming More Efficient" visit https://www.transforminganxiety.com/calm-register

We introduce a new segment called: How they started...where I feature entrepreneurs and their businesses and explore the WHY behind their journey.It's like discovering the reason why your favourite song was written, how many times they were rejected by radio stations before it became a hit. Entrepreneurs also have layered stories on how their brand came into being, some stories are inspiring, some are just well pragmatic. - like it just makes sense that was the next step to take. I feature the hardworking, super smart founder of the online tech publication: Recharged. Nafisa Akabor, tech and EV car journalist - shares how this idea came about after her retrenchment from the Mail and Gaurdian. While most people would be stuck feeling a sense of rejection. Nafisa saw it as redirection. In some ways it was almost instinctive that the next step for her would be to not only start her own publication, but to also monetize it. Nafisa is also a Car Awards judge, where she is honored for her opinion and insights on the EV Category.Support the show

So I'd removed the lower left six with a very large abscess underneath it. So I was curetaging away all the tissue and everything that was left behind. Everything was going really well. I was very pleased with myself. I was 20 minutes ahead on my diary. And, until I noticed a little pumping and spurting coming from the base of the socket, and what had happened was, by, after curettaging, I'd hit an accessory vessel that had found its way superiorly into the socket and this wasn't just a little ooze bleed, this was actually, like, an arterial bleed from an accessory vessel. Now, when I saw that there's a few different ways you can manage this. Jaz's Introduction:Hello Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati, and this was such a geeky chat about extractions. Like, recently we had a geeky chat on onlays with Dr. Ash Lifts, and she was brilliant. And Dr. Ameer Allybocus today covers real world exodontia. Like, imagine you have a bleeder. What are the best ways to manage a bleeder, both in the short term and in the long term? And unlike all the papers we read or all the other lectures we go to about this, we actually go straight for the kill. Like, what I mean is all the information that you could gain from guidelines. Like there are some guidelines in the UK, there are guidelines all around the world, basically, wherever you practice, about how we should manage patients who are high risk of bleeding. Now, it didn't feel as though it was worth your time to just revise all the guidelines, because you guys can just easily pick up the guidelines and read them. So, the kind of scenarios we discuss are the ones whereby you've done all the medical history checks, you've done all the medicine checks, and you've got a normal bleeding wrist patient, yet they still bleed afterwards. Or they call you eight hours later and they say they're having a bit of a bleed. How do you manage those scenarios? And then much, much more. We just really go in deep into all the facets of exodontia. Protrusive Dental PearlThe Protrusive Dental Pearl is very relevant to Exodontia and something that we actually discussed in this episode.

Every share counts - Fundraiser by Mufaddal Adamji : 1 year old Nafisa with SMA type 1 (gofundme.com) Click below for full episode transcript: Jaz's Introduction: Now, we all know that matching the single central incisor tooth is the most difficult thing in dentistry. Like, getting the ceramic to get the correct fluorescence and shade and shape is tricky. Jaz's Introduction:So we rely a lot on our lab, but the communication to actually get that color, that shade perfect, can be really challenging. Now, as you guys know, I do a lot of resin bonded bridges. And so I do face this challenge a fair bit, trying to match a pontic of a lateral incisor, for example, or a lower central incisor to the adjacent teeth can be really tricky. So I've been stung a few times whereby technically my bridge has been awesome, but the shade has let us down. So this is a real art. This is a real tricky thing. But today we've got Dr. Imi Nasser, who's going to share his entire protocol with us. Imi's one of these annoying dentists on Instagram, right? He is just brilliant. at everything. Like you see him post a class 2 restoration that's just absolutely flawless, and then all of a sudden he's doing all the soft tissue grassing, temporization, and a beautiful single central incisor that matches flawlessly to all the other teeth. And you think, how does he do it? And he does it consistently, time after time after time. I've seen him post central incisors, lateral incisors that are just shade and characterization perfect. So I asked him to come on the podcast to spill all the beans. How can we take the stress out of shade matching and how can we make sure we nail it every time? Because the crazy thing in here from today's episode is that actually, Imi doesn't bring his patients back for like a try in and a retry and then send the patient to the lab to get a custom shade. He doesn't do any of that, right? It is just amazing. His level of communication is fantastic and that's how he gets great results and we're going to share that all with you today. So don't go anywhere, Protruserati. Hello, Protruserati, I'm Jaz Galati, and welcome back to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. I've been a bit sick for a few weeks, so I haven't been in front of the camera. Finally almost got my voice back fully. I think it's some nasty bug that's been going around, and it doesn't help that I'm not sleeping much because I've got a six-month-old baby, like my son, Sihaan. Great kid, bad sleeper. So it has been a challenge and a shock to the old immune system, but I'm finally getting back to my best. Sorry that I had to cancel a monthly grind coaching course. So every month of my split course, we do like a coaching call.

Dagens afsnit er med fokus på Somalia, Somaliland ved Afrikas Horn, som er ramt af den værste tørke i 40 år, og dermed gemmer på nogle af klimakrisens oversete ofre. Yaqub, Nasra og Nafisa taler om, hvorfor det stadig er vigtigt at tale om Afrika med et generelt udgangspunkt i den geopolitiske konflikt omkring Afrikas Horn. De giver et indblik i, hvordan det er at være somali i diaspora, og den skyldfølelse der følger med – både følelser over ikke at gøre nok men også at være vidne til den manglende opbakning, der er blandt ens dansk etniske venner og den ensomhed, der kommer af at kæmpe for en kamp, der ikke får mediebevågenhed.Følg dagens gæster og deres arbejde her:Yaqub Abdirahman er intersektionel aktivist og statskundskabsstuderendehttps://www.instagram.com/terranullius__/Nasra Jama journaliststuderende https://www.instagram.com/nasraay/Nafisa Fiidow er Cand.scient.pol.https://www.instagram.com/nafisafiidow/Følgende er nogle organisationer som bl.a. er drevet af kræfter fra det somaliske diaspora, hvor man kan give sin støtte til at afhjælpe den akutte sultkatastrofe lige nu.Rajo Organisationhttps://www.facebook.com/RajoOrganisation Iftin Organisationhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064616923211 Hayaan Somaliland Humanitarian Organization https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067073300099 Sustainable Relief & Transformation https://www.facebook.com/groups/1421530834778231 Danish Muslim Aidhttps://www.facebook.com/dmaid Tak fordi I lytter med og for at være med til at støtte arbejdet med at forstærke og sprede de udråb og stemmer i dagens afsnit.

Depuis que les talibans ont pris le pouvoir il y a un an, la condition des femmes dans le pays n'a cessé d'empirer. Privées de travail, privées d'écoles, les femmes en Afghanistan payent le prix lourd du changement de gouvernement. L'Afghanistan est l'un des rares pays où le taux de suicide des femmes est plus élevé que celui des hommes. Depuis un an, on constate une augmentation très nette des suicides dans tout le pays. De notre envoyée spéciale à Hérat,  Dans un cabinet médical à Hérat, dans l'ouest de l'Afghanistan, Nafisa*, qui était enseignante jusqu'à l'année dernière, vient voir Ali, un psychologue, pour la quatrième fois. Elle fait partie des nombreuses femmes qui ont dû renoncer à leur travail depuis l'arrivée des talibans à la tête du pays. « Cette situation est terrible », nous confie-t-elle en crispant ses mains. « J'attends la prochaine guerre, vous savez ». Depuis le « changement de situation », comme les Afghans le disent, la jeune femme de 23 ans n'est plus la même. « J'ai peur, je transpire de tout mon corps, je suis constamment stressée. Je me sens comme une folle. J'ai toujours peur qu'on vienne me chercher pour me faire du mal. On a déménagé, j'ai jeté mes cartes SIM », confesse-t-elle. Ce qu'elle décrit, elle le vit au quotidien. « J'ai rompu tous les liens que j'avais avec mes collègues, je me sens isolée. Je pense qu'on est poussées à se suicider si on n'accepte pas cette situation. Si jamais je n'ai aucune chance de quitter le pays, ma seule option, sera la mort » ► À lire aussi : Afghanistan : une manifestation de femmes dispersée par les tirs des talibans à Kaboul Destins brisés Ces pensées suicidaires, elles sont de plus en plus nombreuses à les avoir. Fatima a 15 ans et elle a déjà tenté deux fois de mettre fin à ses jours. « Les écoles ont fermé pour les filles. Depuis, je me sens comme en prison, je me sens oppressée », nous raconte la jeune fille. « J'ai peur et je pense à des choses terribles, je m'inquiète pour ma vie, mon avenir. Faute de pouvoir partir très loin d'ici, j'ai envie de me suicider », dit-elle, la voix frêle. « Parfois, j'ai envie de me jeter sous les roues d'une voiture ». Sans pouvoir aller à l'école, elle ne voit plus ses amies, elle ne peut plus partager ce qu'elle ressent, nous raconte-t-elle. « Nous les filles, nous n'avons aucun espoir, car nous n'avons plus de rôle dans la société. Malheureusement, les femmes en Afghanistan n'ont aucune valeur ». Fatima voulait devenir juge. Mais aujourd'hui, elle n'a aucun espoir que son rêve se réalise.  Fariba, sa mère âgée de 41 ans, a peur pour sa fille, d'autant qu'elle comprend très bien la situation dans laquelle elle se trouve. « Sous le régime précédent, les femmes n'avaient pas peur. Mais je me souviens du gouvernement taliban d'avant (les talibans ont été au pouvoir entre 1996 et 2001, NDLR), pendant cinq ans, je n'ai pas eu le droit de travailler, je devais rester chez moi. Ils ont gâché cinq ans de ma vie » Fariba est bénévole dans un hôpital d'Hérat. Depuis qu'elle est séparée de son mari, elle vit chez son frère, avec sa fille et ses deux garçons. Privés de télévision et de radio, aller à l'hôpital est sa seule échappatoire. Elle emmène parfois sa fille avec elle, pour qu'elle sorte un peu de la maison.  « Je vois ma fille pleurer tous les jours et je sais bien pourquoi. Elle veut rester seule, elle ne veut voir personne, elle s'énerve pour un rien. Elle a fini par avaler des médicaments tellement ça n'allait pas » ► À écouter aussi : Femmes en Afghanistan : retour aux enfers sous le joug des talibans Suicides en hausse Selon le psychologue, impossible de donner des chiffres précis, car les statistiques sont erronées : il explique que les talibans ne laissent pas les médecins enregistrer les cas de suicide, car ils ne veulent pas que le monde sache que le taux de suicide monte en flèche dans le pays. Mais il l'affirme, de plus en plus de femmes viennent le voir, soit parce qu'elles y songent, soit parce qu'elles l'ont déjà tenté et leurs familles souhaitent qu'elles en parlent à un professionnel. « Le nombre de patientes avec des soucis mentaux a augmenté, particulièrement les femmes qui ont tenté de se suicider. Dans d'autres pays, quand on veut être en bonne santé, le gouvernement et la famille apportent leur soutien, les femmes ont souvent du travail et il n'y a pas de mariage forcé. En Afghanistan, les tensions sont souvent liées à la violence sexuelle dans les foyers, c'est une des raisons pour lesquelles les cas de suicide augmentent ».  Ali souligne que de nombreux facteurs font tomber les femmes en dépression : ne plus pouvoir travailler, la crainte pour l'avenir de leurs filles, la violence conjugale. Il faut parfois quelques consultations pour que les femmes se confient réellement, dit-il, car lors des premières visites, les proches sont souvent présents, ne leur permettant pas de se livrer en toute discrétion.  ► À lire aussi : Afghanistan, les femmes subissent les mariages contraints et les emprisonnements abusifs, selon Amnesty Choix inimaginables L'environnement dans lequel évoluent les femmes est devenu plus menaçant pour les jeunes filles. Depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir des talibans, de nombreuses ONG locales et internationales ont constaté une recrudescence des mariages d'enfants, des mariages précoces et des mariages forcés en Afghanistan. L'un des facteurs à l'origine de cette augmentation est la crise économique et humanitaire.  Un garçon malade à charge, Mubarak, une mère de famille qui a la trentaine, veut vendre sa fille âgée de dix ans. « Je veux utiliser l'argent que j'aurai en la vendant, pour mon fils. Le mari qu'on lui a trouvé est sourd. Mais on n'a pas le choix. On est obligé de la sacrifier pour pouvoir emmener notre fils consulter un médecin à Kaboul ou au Pakistan », confie-t-elle.  Elle n'a pas le choix, dit-elle, c'est son seul fils. « J'aime tellement mon fils. Il est très important. Les garçons font des études, ils vont travailler en Iran et envoient de l'argent à leur famille qui peuvent alors avoir une vie confortable. Les filles, elles appartiennent à d'autres. Elles partent vivre chez leur mari », nous dit-elle. ► À lire aussi : Afghanistan : un an après le retour des talibans, l'horizon de plus en plus sombre des femmes Elle n'est pas la seule à avoir pris cette décision inimaginable, parfois pour obtenir des sommes dérisoires. Rabia a donné sa fille de 12 ans en mariage pour rembourser les 50 000 afghanis (environ 550 euros) empruntés à un homme de 40 ans. « Je ne suis pas contente de l'avoir fait, elle n'est pas prête pour tomber en enceinte ni pour s'occuper d'une maison. J'ai pris cette décision parce qu'on mourrait de faim, pour mes autres enfants », confesse-t-elle.  Perte de repères fondamentaux, pauvreté extrême, destins brisés, ce sont des facteurs qui poussent les femmes à envisager le pire. L'un des seuls espoirs que certaines d'entre elles nourrissent aujourd'hui est de pouvoir un jour quitter le pays dans lequel elles ne peuvent s'épanouir. *Tous les noms ont été modifiés pour des raisons de sécurité.

Despite Sudan once being at the forefront of African cinema, only eight feature films have been made in the last 70 years. Now a new generation of film-makers has emerged, winning acclaim from audiences and awards at film festivals around the world. You Will Die at Twenty, about a young Sudanese boy, was written and directed by Amjad Abu Alala and became the country's first Oscar entry. Suzannah Mirghani's short film Al-Sit follows the 15-year-old Nafisa facing an arranged marriage. They tell us why it was important for them to make their films in Sudan, telling Sudanese stories and of the issues they faced. In April 2019 President Al Bashir was overthrown and then in October last year there was a military coup in Sudan. People have been protesting on the streets and this remains a fragile time for the country. Professor of African and African Diaspora Art History at Cornell University in New York and head of the Africa Institute in the UAE, Salah M Hassan, gives us an overview of the situation and its impact on artistic and cultural life. Artist Reem Aljeally is known for her colourful acrylic works, which unusually for Sudanese artists, sensually depict the female form. As a self-taught artist and with few places to display work, she started the Muse Multi Studios and Beit Al Nissa in Khartoum to encourage other young people, especially women, to take up art and be creative. Since the revolution of 2019 music has started to flourish again in Sudan, including traditional instruments such as the Oud and the 78-stringed qanan. One organisation that is helping young people learn to play, perform and even make these instruments is Beit Al Oud. With one of their videos going viral, qanan player Wafa Mustafa explains why they hope it will be the start of a new era in Sudanese music on the world stage.

Thoughts of fear, whether real or imagined, can cause us to not move ahead with any of our dreams or goals

So many people start the year off strong but by mid February they lose interest in their goals.  This usually has to do with not setting clear and specific goals that create motivation instead of overwhelm. In this episode I break down the steps you need to take to set goals that are achievable.  It starts by writing them down.  Getting a clear vision through writing your goals will activate your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to move towards accomplishing your goals.  One way to get clear is to break goals down in 5 categories and then write specific action steps beneath each category.  For example:1.)   Healtha. Cook meals at home 3 days a weekb.   Buy groceries based on the EWG's Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen c.  Go to the gym 4 days a week2.) Relationshipsa. Improve communication skillsb.   Express myself more when I'm upset3.) Spiritualitya. Meditate moreb.   Wait an hour before checking emails and social mediac.    Document what I'm grateful for every day.4.) Financesa.  Automatically save $100 every monthb.   Have a budget of $_____ for entertainmentc.    Paying off credit card debt5.)  Careera.  Ask for a raise at workb.                  Improve my skills in the area of ____c. Update my resume Your list can look similar or different than the list above but keep adding to each category so you have a very clear vision of what is required for each category.  Once you meet the goal, cross it off and add another goal. “Discipline weighs ounces, while regret weighs tons” ~Jim Rohn I have a beautiful FREE Downloadable journal planner that can help you stay on track with your goals.  To download your copy, visit transforminganxiety.com/planner Follow Dr. Sekandari on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_nafisa_sekandariFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.sekandariJoin private FB Group Transforming Anxiety: https://www.facebook.com/groups/transforminganxietyWatch Video Recording on YoutubeTo learn more about Dr. Sekandari's Transforming  Anxiety Course, a self paced, online course that helps you manage and control your anxiety from the comfort and privacy of your own home, visit https://www.transforminganxiety.com/course

In life, we can do anything we want to do but whatever we do, wellness should be a part of it. Wellness in this sense is wholesome wellbeing that includes healthy body, mind, work, finances, relationships, emotions etc. 2. Follow your passion and Live everyday as if it was your last day – if you are not happy with your life then take a leap of faith and make a change because life is too short! Believe in yourself and love yourself. 3. The way we win in life is by taking the first step and by performing TPR – target pass and repeat. Once we take that first step we can build on it and become even stronger to take our next step. So break things down to smaller targets and take one step at a time. 4. Lastly, save whatever you can, especially if you are planning to make a career change or start a new business. This way you are not fearful because the savings will work for you as a cushion when you start to make the desired change. You can personally write to me at sharinglifelessons101@gmail.com with your comments or if you have a story to share with our listeners. I will bring you another episode of Sharing Life Lessons next Wednesday. Until then, 'Be happy, be safe and be well'. Podcast links:.

Have you been told to pray your mental illness away? Nafisa (founder of Children of 1971) and I chat about our experiences with religion and mental health. In this episode we relate the reasons that we rejected religion due to mental health stigma, sexuality, misogyny, and more. Over the course of the episode we dive into how we eventually found spirituality to be useful in our respective mental health journeys, learning to overcome the taboos and stigma of mental health and redefining it in ways that work for us. We also talk about the Hindu/Muslim conflict in India and Bengal (West Bengal and Bangladesh), and how the divisive nature of it from both of our communities pushed us away from religion, along with the effect that the current event political climate in India has had on us, including Hindu supremacy and nationalism. This episode was recorded during the month of Ramadan, but it's release was delayed due to current events and the need for relevant and healing discussions about race, accountability, and COVID. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-desi-condition/support
